"Well here I am at Basic as you wished in your last letter." He is now located in Greensboro, N.C. They shipped out at 5 PM Tuesday and arrived around 6:30 AM Wednesday morning. It was not a good trip. Very crowded. He's been kept busy since arriving, and drew night guard duty from 3:30-6:30 AM, so sleep will continue to evade him. So far, no news about the classification test they will be taking - and it's truly not Basic but P.A.C (Pre Aviation Cadet) training they will be receiving. The camp is more crude than Ft. Dix, "a thousand times worse." Most of his group are transfers from A.S.T.P., so the competition will be steep as they have already studied what all of them will be quizzed on soon, not to mention their experience and "fine physical shape." Most of these men have been treated badly thus far, therefore they're highly motivated. Ann has requested a picture..(no comment made).
